blasian Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 I have been in contact with VIP clinic about a rhinoplasty-$15,000 USD and minifacelift/necklift/liposuction-$16,000. These prices rival what I would be charged in Beverly Hills. Why is this clinic so expensive? Is VIP really so good to charge these fees? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villacola10 Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 VIP is a mystery to me and to a lot of people on Purse Forum. I had privately messaged 2 different people here that claimed to had gone to VIP for their procedures. Both seem to be indirect. The only thing they would say is that everything went well, but they wouldn't go into details about their experience. I didn't ask for B & A pictures or nothing like that. I understand that people are not obligated to speak with you. But I do find it highly suspicious that neither one of them didn't want to talk about their experience and they basically said the same thing. VIP claims to not have had any accidents. Honestly, their before and aftercare appears to be amazing. I would say, one of the best I've come across thus far in South Korea. However, I still don't think it's worth spending a whole lot of money. You're definitely right that it's comparable to Beverly Hills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eunhwa Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Wow.. 15K USD? That's way above the average price among Korean PS. Did they say this is just the price of basic rhinoplasty or it includes the whole package like tip plasty, alar reduction or hump nose etc?

triceracera Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 15K USD is really pricey.. But pretty reasonable if it includes rib cartilage and other additional surgeries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blasian Posted November 6, 2019 Author Share Posted November 6, 2019 It is a rib rhinoplasty at that price. But again, I have been in contact with other surgeons and this price rivals rib rhinoplasty quotes from the best surgeons in The United States. If anyone has experience with VIP clinic's results, I would love to hear about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blasian Posted November 6, 2019 Author Share Posted November 6, 2019 The price quoted was for a rib rhinoplasty. This includes pick up from the airport, aftercare and if I am not mistaken some time to recover in their apartment. Here is their initial email to me. Thank you for completing the form.Surgical cost is always individual, so it may vary by patient’s condition, procedure, and material used. 100% rib cartilage rhinoplasty: US$15,000 Midface augmentation(rib cartilage): US$3,000 * The surgical cost includes anesthesia, doctor's operation, nursing care, 1-day in-patient hospitalization, injection fee, post-operative care, and doctor's dressing treatment. * Prescription will be provided but out-patient medication is not included in the surgical cost.

tigersugarislove Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 How about the rhinoplasty revision using rib cartillage? Is the price higher or same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blasian Posted November 8, 2019 Author Share Posted November 8, 2019 This is a competitive price for rib rhinoplasty nearly anywhere in the United States. I received a quote of $14,000 from a surgeon in Portland named Michael Kim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wishingstar Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Does anyone know if that guarantees surgery with Dr Lee himself? Has anyone heard of any shadow doctors at VIP before...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blasian Posted November 11, 2019 Author Share Posted November 11, 2019 I would love to know the answer to this question! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebootyfan Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 OMG! Why so expensive? I’m looking for primary augmentation rhino and so far decided to get it done at regen ps with dr. Lee. I was quoted $6-7k and they also offered some discount. As far as I know, regen is actually a big-scale ps, not sure about vip tho… I think you’d definitely consider some other places, bc they are overpriced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yunggrandpa Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Those prices do not rival what you'd be charged in Beverly Hills, these prices are a lot more expensive! I had my own rhinoplasty in BH. It hasn't been too long and I went to a rather famous doctor who openly works on celebrities as well, and even then my total was $11K USD. I would really look around more! $15K, unless it's some complicated revision, sounds like a huge rip off. And believe me, I had a disaster of a nose and now it's amazing - you really can reach all of your desired changes at a fair enough price if you look hard enough My hotel, right at the heart of Beverly Hills, costs about $70 a night. Just minutes away in walking distance from the bougie Rodeo Drive. You can always find what you're looking for if you're thorough enough! You are of course absolutely free to choose Korea for any reason, but just know there are always many options! Including in Korea - I know there are far better prices and deals. Best of luck to you ♡ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
